Thanks for this!

I'm sure that I have said it before but even as a child he made me feel uneasy. My parents too. I got confirmation from a girlfriend's mate who was a TV presenter as a very young teenager. The nonce groped her off camera continously. I was told this in 1981. At risk of censorship I will point...

Next you will be saying 'don't forget to use COLD water, to stop the blood adhering to surfaces......'

Exactly.

Well I thought either way was bad, perp or vic!

Problem was I didn't know if it was a vision from the future.

I've almost certainly posted it here, before, so sorry if it's repetitive. Viewing flats in London in the late 80s we visited one in Brockley. Like every other one it had white painted plaster walls, freshly done. I had an immediate vision of handprints in blood covering the walls. Even if we...

It would devolve into 'I'm more terrible than you.'

I hesitate to leap into this minefield, but it seems in almost every case where some politician or public figure behaves in a performative manner their social media history reveals behaviour far worse than the actions that they are criticising. And I won't dwell on the HBO Harry Potter special...

Google Yon Yonson or Jon Johnson.

I won't mention the song.....

Do you remember NY's Pro Reagan phase? I remember him being interviewed by Andy Kershaw and feigning ignorance of the concept of 'jingoism'.

At least it is not a porn film.

Eric Bana is brilliant in Dirty John.

Interesting article in the guardian today. I confess that initially my London-centric mind got very excited. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/feb/09/sex-magic-occult-art-and-acid-the-story-of-the-infamous-witch-of-kings-cross

(Incidentally, the new wave of Ladybirds for grown-ups are brilliant - I recommend them highly.) The Ladybird guide to Hipsters is wonderful.

The Room is definitely one of those films that is so awful that it's entertaining. And the creator's transparent claims after the appalling reviews that it was meant to be atrocious just make it better.

Also BBC iplayer has an amazing film about an unemployed Danish baker who became the number two person in the world KFA, in order to expose just how depraved the regime is. It's beyond parody.

There were definitely massacres committed by western forces. The BBC series by Max Hastings detailed some of them. Out of interest, the US MIA/POW lobby was influential, even in Hollywood, despite the numbers 'only' being about 4000 cases. For context, allied forces MIA in Korea were about...

I believe that Churchill's speech in Jersey, after the war, was used to sweep it all away.

Now it's John Lydon's political views that are sick.

I was sitting in a barber's in Stockton a few years ago and chatted to a local for about 20 minutes. Eventually he asked if I was from Darlington. My accent is the epitome of RP.

Please can you tell me where I can subscribe to this? Too many results came up when I searched.

I don't know what you are talking about. If I did, I would have to accept that everything that I hoped for, that I dreamed about being a part of, is the shell of other men's ambitions.

I was blown away at how well it referenced so many films, whilst being very much its own creation. In addition to a really erudite review on Bright Wall Dark Room, there are also a large amount of subreddits that explore all its potential meanings, but humorously!

I watched Under the silver lake on mubi last week. Really intriguing and prescient. It has even fuelled the sort of paranoid conspiracy -searching that it portrays, in real life.

Hopefully London Live and Talking Pictures TV will eventually show these. I missed the brilliant Out on the latter and gave up on Budgie because the character was so unpleasant.

If anything like this happened it would be widely known. There are multiple reasons why he might have told you this story and he may even have believed it. Full disclosure, I have worked with and know many of the ex combatants, on both sides. I also lived in NISC for a decade.

There are two perfect places for first dates in London. Wellcome Trust and Sir John Soane's Museum.

And I thought that only I did that! I can also recommend Arthur Morrison's books on Cunning Murrell.

Have you read Jon Ronson's book on shame? I'm reminded of it now as I try and stop myself from seeing exactly who was defending him.

People believe what they want. On this very site some people defended his reputation.

Was this a documentary though?

If people valued education and intelligence we would not have political leaders like this current shower.

It was intended to build deep level shelters in the late thirties but in the end they couldn't fund them. The Secret History of the Blitz covers this well.

We have discussed this before I am hearing that in a teacher voice.

Full disclosure required. Are you one of our lizard overlords?

If you are tolerant of comedic gorefests try The Greasy Strangler on All4. It's like a horror version of a Reeves and Mortimer sketch.

Excellent! Thanks.

I don't want to sound childish and petty, but I'm both, so will. I always offer homeopathic money to 'practitioners'.

I think one of my favourite things about this community is that we will take the time to post seventeen years after the previous one. I love you guys.

Mubi.com is showing some of the French new wave classics. It's currently on free trial.

One of the very few perks of my job is free cremations. You can insert your own speculative jokes......

The very wet autumn and winter has already increased the amount of visible rats because their dens have been flooded and they have been seeking out new ones.

In addition to warming the cockles of my heart I can recommend his podcast, the Blindboy podcast, with the caveat that we Irish use certain Anglo Saxon words in an affectionate way.

I rarely do anything but yellow sticker shopping but I always thank the staff for their patience if they have trouble with the labels. I

And PM Johnson has been thanked for supporting his destruction of the Amazon. JB also said that Brazilians could swim in shit and remain healthy and as a trained athlete he was immune to disease.

Governments have been slowly eroding civil liberties and personal choice for years they don't need a fucking virus to do this. Also if it's a big conspiracy how did they recruit all the tens of thousands of scientists and health professionals to become Illuminati henchmen? QUOTED Well it was...
